The last time we saw Axe Cop he had Goo Cop (a man made of goo) and Junior Cobb (a bow tie wearing gorilla) by his side fighting off all the bad guys. This issue begins with us meeting two bad robot brothers, Bu and Tu, from another planet. These guys are looking for trouble and won’t stop until they find it. Back on Earth, Axe Cop and his crew have their hands full as they meet the new super weird mash-up bad guy, Chee-Rex. I’ll let you use your imagination with this one! After some mouth springs, giant punches and transforming robots, Axe Cop and his friends save someone who could arguably be their biggest save yet; but, it doesn’t end there, oh no, theirs plenty more action. The evil robots devise a plan to make Earth’s citizens believe that Axe Cop is evil while also traveling through the universe destroying planets and picking up allies along the way to complete their evil plan of becoming the worst bad guys EVER! Axe Cop, refusing to sit back and let the robots win, devises a plan to figure out the robots plan and it’s a doozy. The universe is in peril and it looks like it’s only going to get worse!

Robots, the Devil, golden mustaches, there is nothing this issue doesn’t have. Seriously, it’s all in here and it shouldn’t be so entertaining but dammit it is! The next and final installment of “President Of The World” looks to be crazy and Axe Cop and his friends are going to have their hands full. This comic has so much charm and humor it’s unbelievable. Everything in this issue works, the writing is always funny and the art is really great, so much so that you can actually follow the story even if there weren’t any dialog, that’s pretty impressive. This is a must read and can really be enjoyed by anyone of any age. Don’t miss on Axe Cop, in a word its brilliant!

Everyone’s favorite axe wielding, girl hating, talking gorilla fearing cop is back! Axe Cop is in an all new adventure taking over the world. Now President of the entire world, Axe Cop has to build a new “White House”, pick a new capital, make his political platform clear and most importantly make the gruesome consequences of not following said platforms rules. But wait there’s more, we are introduced to a man made of goo, we get to learn his back story and why he’s come to Axe Cop for help. If that wasn’t enough, he also meets a talking, super-powered gorilla who needs the unparalleled assistance of Axe Cop. Of course there is a bunch of stuff in between that I simply can’t describe here, it needs to be read first hand to be fully appreciated!

I love Axe Cop, every story is really something special. I love all the weird, crazy side characters and most importantly I love the stories. Axe Cop’s straight to the point storytelling is part of what makes it so great and this issue was awesome. Not only do you get a crazy story stemming from the 8-year-old mind of Malachai Nicolle but you get the amazing art of his older brother Ethan Nicolle. The best part of the art is that you inevitably find something that makes you do a double take or simply makes you blurt out a “WTF?” “President Of The World” is so entertaining and funny and at the same time the issue also manages to show us a softer side of the hard ass Axe Cop. Yes, he has feelings too. I don’t think I would vote for him but I would definitely read his comics!

We’ve seen the mass compilation releases of Axe Cop flowing in, this weekend at ECCC 2012 we got word that Axe Cop is setting sights on higher position though and it might not even be planetary. Axe Cop at the peak of power following Bad Guy Earth has only one direction left to go and we’ll see it this summer.

As commander of the whole world it’s a tough place for Axe Cop, the bad guys are out of the picture there’s only one frontier left to venture into, space. Yes Axe Cop is taking the fight for justice to space and everyone better watch out. It really is a tale we could only find from such a young mind. There is a key thing to note, this is a pretty noble effort to make it a continuation and not just a sequel comic so expect the same awesome fights, story and other elements that make this a priceless series.

For those wondering, you only have to hold out for a few more months, Axe: Cop President of the World #1 heads out on July 25th, 2012 from Dark Horse Comics. We’ll have more details on the book and our early coverage when we get closer to that release. In the meantime, enjoy the poster art for the book.

Axe Cop Volume 3 gives a new reader (me) the exact amount of exposure needed to get you hooked on the series. The first story is “Bat Warthog Man Can’t Find His Friend”, the story of a guy who realizes there is something better than Batman, and of course that would be a man mixed with a bat and a warthog! A superhero unlike any who came before him, transformed when he was bitten by a bat and horned by a warthog. He’s on the side of all that is good and he turns to Axe Cop when his friend is kidnapped by the mastermind of planet “Invisible Bad Guy King Planet 2.” The king of this planet is an early to bed, early to rise diabolical ruler who spends his days perfecting his evil plans.

Due to the danger of this particular mission, they realize they should rally the good guy troops. Gray Diamond, Wolver Man, Graystone and last but certainly not least, Army Chihuahua. Each member of this squad has their own strengths ranging from flying to being able to point out aliens quickly. After working out all of the logistics they embark on their super dangerous adventure, but not before they run into the Beautiful Girly Bobs, a superhero troop in their own right and they want in on this mission. This is not destined to be though because after checking very official sources it is determined that, “all girls are dumb.” After locating the Bad Guy King on his invisible planet they jump straight into action. In the midst of all this we are treated to Army Chihuahua’s origin story and my words cannot explain it… it’s just awesome. Will they succeed in saving Bat Warthog Man’s friend? In some ways, it almost doesn’t really matter because there is so much ridiculously awesome stuff that happens, you end up enthralled with all of the side stories and, at some points, less focused on the main one!

Next up is the “Ask Axe Cop” section. Short questions followed by insane answers. The questions range from “what world records does Axe Cop hold” to “what does he you do on Thanksgiving”, all with answers you would never imagine. I think my favorites may have been when Axe Cop is asked what different “hair styles/beard/’stache styles” (pizza?) he’s had and the “how do I know if I’m a bad guy” questions. The answers are brilliant and beyond entertaining.

There is also an Axe Cop and Dr. McNinja collaboration that produces great results. Axe Cop celebrates holidays too and in this volume we get a couple of examples of this. First up is the Halloween special, a light tale of baby theft and “night monster” transformations. This is followed by a light Christmas tale called “The Power of Christmas.” A sweet story about the meaning of Christmas, you know, explosions, axes, monsters etc.

This book is absolutely brilliant and has everything you’ve ever wanted. This was my first time reading Axe Cop and I was left wondering what took me so long. It is hilarious, and it should be mentioned that Axe Cop stems from the brain of a child. No really, Malachai Nicolle is 7! He’s one half of the creative duo that makes the genius that is Axe Cop. The other half is Malachai’s big brother, Ethan Nicolle, who is the artist and does an amazing job perfectly capturing the wackiness of the story. Dinosaurs, face eating, more trash receptacles than you could imagine and most importantly a crazy amount of imagination, Axe Cop is top-notch reading. The girl hating, dinosaur loving Axe Cop Volume 3 contains multiple Axe Cop stories, a forward by the amazing Damon Lindelof (Lost, Prometheus, and Legend of Hall H!)) and bucket loads of funny (that doesn’t belong in the funny trash). Every single piece is a standout, but I especially loved “The Funny Episode”. Considering that every single story is funny, specifically calling this one “The Funny Episode” is funny in itself. Axe Cop’s ideas of pranks are sick and great. Ethan Nicolle’s comments give some background on a lot of the pieces that are both interesting and often times really sentimental and cute. I cannot recommend this book enough, quite frankly it’s perfect and I can’t wait to read more!
